Our services include:- arts-specific disability equality training; consultations around disability policy and implementation, relating to the arts; information/advice; development work to increase opportunities in the arts for disabled people; large scale strategic projects; publications; membership scheme

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

The charity has received modest backing from a grant maker
There has been reasonable growth in spending since inception
There have been no income shortfalls in recent years
The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender and dynamic in terms of composition

Financial issues to consider:

A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
